Why Is It Important That All CPP Members Get Survivor

Why is it important that all CPP members get survivor and disability benefits?

A) because the Widowed Spouses Allowance (WSPA) does not cover the loss of the SPA
B) because women receive fewer benefits than men because of differing work patterns and a longer life expectancy
C) because the reduction in OAS payments from the married to the single rate places many older people below the poverty line
D) because women often outlive their husbands, but many do not have pensions of their own
